Winning Teacher, 2004

Artspace 'Annual New Artist show', in collaboration with the curator, Tessa Giblin and her selected eight artists, I selected and paired 8 more artists to make better versions (in 48 hours) of Giblin's selection, from written discriptions provided by the original eight.
Each pairings will then be ranked from best to worst by the curator and displayed in order. Giblin ranked the works alphabetically. Myself was included as a talking head, in which I explained the rules in which the work was made if you pushed play on the DVD

I know Everything: A reason

The wise old person, poor and wandering, if they are so wise How are they to be poor and wandering. Now I know why, for they possess the only wealth to have in this world, that of friends, people who love them. All of their knowledge gave them this and they being wise had teh courage to do and be what they knew was wise. Given that wealth as a rule, private property, isolates and disguises all exchange as material. And we all know what happens when material enters the heart or head .
